phone will not go into recovery mode

ok so i had posted lat night where for what ever reason after being rooted and having wicked rom running after doing a nandroid back up phone wouldn't go past boot screen. every time i try to go to recovery it shows samsung boot screen and see on top that it is going into recovery mode. after like 2 seconds it reboots and goes back to boot screen. i was able to get into download mode and flashed stock rom in odin. every things works fine as far as that. one strange thing is the phone sd card is pretty much full. i have done a factory reset every thing was back to normal. once again phone memory is full. i have loaded the root file on my ext sd card. load a recovery through odin. that works fine. still won't go into recovery. how can i fix this issue. i really just want the stock rom with recovery and root so i can run a few programs that require root. also how much extra space should i have on the phone memory after loading stock rom back up. any help would be greatly appreciated. btw this is not my first time having a rooted and custom rom phone. i had all that working on my htc amaze 4g.

Just press and hold volume down + power and once the blue letters " booting in recovery mode" show up let go you will be in recovery mode

lol wow. don't know how that worked. every time before when i wanted to get into recovery i held it until it actually went into recovery. thanks:good:

My phone is verizon s4 sch-i545 when I try to boot up in recovery mode it shows booting in recovery but it just boots up normally .I wanted to do a factory reset but the factory reset just restarts my phone and when I try to get into recovery mode for a hard reset I cant boot into recovery mode. I don't know what to do

For recovery, try holding down the volume up, home and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button only. Keep pressing the volume up and home button. When you see the dead android, release all buttons.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus won't boot up! Restarting after google logo!

Hello to all
I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1 stock and unlocked.
It worked perfectly to two years! From yesterday i have problem with it! My GN won't boot anymore, I can see just google and X (nexus) logo after that GN restart itself! This is repeated without stopping until I put out battery.
I have tried to clear cache, wipe data/factory reset in Recovery Mode but problem has continued!
I have unlocked bootloader and update to android 4.3 stock (non rooted) through ADB (google SDK), updated successfully but when phone has reboot problem has continued, GN restart non-stop!
In Fastboot mode/Recovery Mode phone it never restarted! I have left in this mode with hours to try if restarted but no It works without any problems in this mode! It restart only when phone boot up!
Can this problem to be hardware failure or not?!
Can anyone help me? What can i do to boot my GN again?
I hope in your your support

Don't panic, this problem is called bootloop and it's normal. Just download factory images from here and flash them by using this awesome guide by efrant!!
Also bookmark this link for future reference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959

started having the same problem yesterday after 6 months of stability on a custom 4.3 rom.
oem lock then unlock to format, nothing, tried various methods of flashing back to stock via ADB with mixed results, normally more boot looping with it occasionally booting into a rom for ~5 seconds. so SOMETHING is working.
I tried Efrant's method about an hour ago, but its been sitting at the google logo since, I'm at a lost, I'm no stranger to boot loops when installing borked roms but this is the strangest problem I have ever had with an android device.
should I just chock it up to hardware failure?

Mostly yours USERDATA partition is corrupted.
Use FASTBOOT to reflash the USERDATA IMG and it should do the trick.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

did a total stock reflash again, got to the setup screen before it rebooted after ~15 seconds, bootlooping again. flashed the userdata img with a few different ones.
I'm trying to read my logcat but when I run the ADB command in clockwork It finds nothing.

I've done all steps by this awesome guide by efrant! But same problem here
I've tried to install 4.2.2 stock, 4.3 stock, all comands works but in the end when i press fastboot reboot my nexus it's in bootloop again restart restart and restart
Any other solutions :crying::crying::crying:

I've waited about 30 minutes after restarting non-stop, my GN boot to system i saw home screen of android but after 5 sec restarted again :crying:

I'm getting into my system once every 10 or so reboots. managed to turn off wifi in case that was the problem but still boot looping. I'm inclined to think it might be hardware related as I started having trouble in the middle of a text after several months of rom stability.

How to boot into recovery mode

i have a pretigio multipad 3270b. I was busy putting music onto my memory card when all off a sudden my screen went blank and when it came back on it was stuck on the prestigio screen the whole time. I tried all the button combination i can think of to enter the recovery mode.or clockwork mode to do a factory data resent but i don't seem to get into it, keep going to that one screen. I can get into the device at all. tried the reset button as well and still nothing. Please as anyone know how to get into that recovery mode or clockwork mode to do the factory data reset it will be truly appreciated. Thank you

Johan, I have a similar issue with my Huawei U8652 (2.3.6), I just removed the battery for a few seconds, put it back in turned it on and it worked as normal. But I too now can't do a factory reset now, phone works as normal until I turn it off and plug it in to charge or to the PC. Hopefully we'll get a solution to this, I'm thinking I may have to flash a default ROM but not sure how since my boatloader is borked.

Frozen on Samsung Logo

Hi. I was trying out Blisspop on this tablet and decided I preferred CM11 so decided to restore a backup. After rebooting, nothing turned on, only download mode worked so I just flashed stock firmware using Odin (which I had used successfully previously). Now it boots but gets stuck at the Samsung Logo. I can still get to download mode, but nothing else. I've read that if factory reset in the stock recovery, it'll work itself out but I can't even get to it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dont panic really common problem happened to me.
1. Boot into recovery, if not flash one with odin coz your gonna need something...like philz touch or team win or whatever.
2. Wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and wait, samething might appear to happen but it should boot.
Basically ive noticed a few times now on my t805 that the cache wouldnt format propperly and became corrupt and caused this.
I knew this because in the recovery a bunch of errors appeared saying couldnt acces log from cache/blah zt each time i navigated the menu of revoveryand so i wiped cache and they stopped
Booted and viola...if you see any other errors in recovery tell us here.
Good luck m8.

The problem was that I couldn't even get into recovery. But found thread on xda that mentioned if you turn off the tablet from download mode (pressing power and volume down) then you can use the normal three button method to get to recovery. And then yes, I wiped everything I could and it finally booted back up. Thanks for the help mate.

Samsung Galaxy S4 bootloop

Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and I'm using GEAR CM13
The ROM was working fine until a while ago, but now suddenly there's a bootloop. Last thing I remember doing was accidentally holding the power button a bit long (while trying to lock the phone) so the power off/reboot menu came up and and then I tried to exit from it, but the menu didn't go away and the phone entered into a boot loop
Now, the Samsung i9500 logo just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. I'm unable to enter into recovery mode. I can enter download mode but it just exits out of that after 5 seconds and starts flashing i9500 logo again. I read about a hack to remove battery as soon as I enter download mode and it worked. It stays on download mode now. ODIN recognizes the device. What can I do using ODIN to fix the bootloop? Is there any ODIN flashable zip? I'm on the latest [20160711] build. I have important data in my device. Please help me recover it
I know I can reflash stock ROM and from there, reflash GearCM13 but I do not want to lose data as much as possible. I'm trying for fixes which do not wipe my data partition. I will go ahead with the standard method if I do not find a fix to recover from bootloop without losing data.
